Re: Remarks on GeoLocation Spec

Keeping it milliseconds matches the timestamp of the mouse event:

timeStamp of type DOMTimeStamp, readonly
     Used to specify the time (in milliseconds relative to the epoch)  
at which the event was created. Due to the fact that some systems may  
not provide this information the value of timeStamp may be not  
available for all events. When not available, a value of 0 will be  
returned. Examples of epoch time are the time of the system start or  
0:0:0 UTC 1st January 1970.

I think we should be consistent here.
